Default OEM clutch rough life expectancy?

I have about 25k miles on the original clutch right now, driven fairly conservative on the street. About 4 drift events total (clutch kicking to initiate,maintain etc)
How long have your oem clutches held up? I don't want to drive all the way down to WSIR to have my clutch slip half way through the day. Now exactly isn't the time for me to be spending $500+ on a new clutch if I don't need to just yet.
Please, only people who actually drive, post in this thread, I don't need a bunch of "Just get a JWT clutch" posts. And yes I know it all depends on how you drive, but all I would need to hear is "My clutch took a **** after 5 events" or "Mine has been in for the past 6 and it's fine" yada yada.

Thanks for any help.

i went to 1 track event and my stock clutch no longer holds when i get on it. Of course, it all depends on you horsepower as well.

I have run over 20 events on a stock clutch in my 03. I wish the damn thing would finally wear out but so far it hasnt.

I would not worry about it, just slowly save up for an ACT or something similar.

OP dont beat the **** out of you clutch if you cant afford to replace it? It's like saying i cant afford tires but going out and doing burnouts.

Exactly what I was looking for, just wanted a rough estimate to see how long people have run them. That is all.

End thread please
